I have posted at Android forums about this problem, and so far I have not found a solution...
On Stock Android 2.1 I can use any app and it stays open, even after I hit the home button. I can click on an app that I used a few minutes ago and it comes up instantly because I did not force close with any kind of manager...
Recently flashed NERO V5, and the opposite is happening. Apps are closing on their own after I use them. I can actually pull up the stock task manager and WATCH a certain app get HIGHLIGHTED IN RED...The CPU USE will go up, and BAM...closed.
I've tried reflashin 4 times now to Auxura's latest, and back to NREo V5. Same results. ONLY when I ODIN'd back to stock 2.1 rom did my apps stay open unless force closed.
Is this a result of faulty hardware? An OS tweak I need?
Please advise, as I love the custom ROMS but hate having to wait on WEB to load up again, after just using it 2 minutes ago....
TY for ANY help or suggestions..
Did you reinstall through Titanium? Did you Odin 1St. Before flashing? Just some troubleshooting starters?
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
SOLVED...
AFTER a series of 5 COLD boots...NOT restarts, everything is running normal..
TY.
Good to hear!

sounds like it was a permissions problem. You probably weren't doing wipes before you loaded each of these roms. If you download Rom Manager, you can use the "Fix Permissions" option to resolve a lot of the force close problems.
Nope...still auto closing...
I thought I had this fixed dammit!
I thought that hitting the back button after opening an app closed it. Not on my phone it doesn't. Also, WEB and Contacts close after I use facebook or market. Are there any hardware diagnostic tools available in market? Anyway to check if this issue is hardware related?
Yes, I checked the clear box prior to installing new roms if that's what you meant. I did not check the backup rom button though...
Tried fix permissions too but the problem is back now!
Maybe it's hardware related, IDK...
I cannot get WEB and contacts to stay open. I use these 2 apps alot at work, but whenever I use other apps such as market, facebook, camera etc... upon return home, I can take a peek in task manager, and sure enough...NOT THERE.

same thing happening here on froyo ka6 vibrant.....i've tried sgs tuner, memory manager, toolbox, etc but can't get the apps to stay open.
You only have this problem in Axura correct? Not in any other 2.2 roms you've tried or stock 2.1....how about stock 2.2?
It mainly happens in froyo.

I recently upgraded to GSB v2.1 from my previously non-rooted bog standard Eris and am amazed by what I had been missing out for. I'm still pretty much a complete newbie to the whole custom ROM thing though, and have a few questions that may be quite stupid.
1) I'm getting force close crashes w/ the Facebook app. It'll load for a second and I'll see my news page, then force close comes up. Do I just need to reinstall or ... ? Edit: Facebook seems to be loading now, without force close issues. The problem was very repeatable (every time I tried to open the app!) last night, but seems gone today. Ah well, good riddance!
2) While trying to play a vid from Youtube, the sound is working flawlessly but the video doesn't seem to be advancing. I can move forward manually but all I get are still pictures from the video. This is using the browser that came with GSB; I haven't yet tried to get any other apps.
3) My wife's phone seriously needs this too, but she's leery of wiping her phone of apps. What's the best way to backup apps from a non-rooted Eris?
Thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide!
Download titanium backup for the apps I'm new at this too I'm unsure about your problems with Facebook and YouTube did you wipe the dalvik cache?

I did wipe the cache, although like I said, I haven't put any apps on here yet, so no harm in just wiping it all again and reflashing the rom to make sure it works. Thanks for the titanium backup tip!
No problem gsb is a great rom these Eris devs do awesome work I use gsb 2.0 no problems I'm trying Ginger tazz now I think battery life may be a little better but both are excellent. You should totally hook your wife's phone up too

I think the Youtube thing is a known issue, and I'm guessing that it's just because Cyanogen Mod 7 isn't completely done yet, so maybe it'll be worked out over time.

Just to let you know, you can wipe the Dalvik cache any time you want to, even after loading apps. It'll just longer to rebuild it when you reboot, but it can help solve issues sometimes.
Welcome to rooting!
That's great to hear! Well, it's not great that youtube doesn't work 100%, but at least it's not some weird problem particular to me. Lol.
I have to say, I really really have grown to like this ROM very fast. My wife is clamoring for it even knowing she's gonna lose all her apps. Any tips on how I set my contacts to import Facebook profile pics now? I did it before, but have no clue where that was or where it may have moved to now.

best option i found for backing up my wife's apps before flashing from stock was to use "universal androot" to root (it is a software root so there is no rebooting or flashing or really any risk of loosing aps). then you can install titanium backup. it will even backup protected files since you have root. when titanium backup loads, hit menu->batch and pick the backup all new apps and newer versions. after flashing, load titanium backup, menu-> batch and pick restore all missing apps (i restored them with data, but many people have had to install the app only and then put back in the other info). FYI i rooted several (5) phones this way. if you install rom manager from the market and install a recovery (clockwork or amon's) from the rom manager, you can turn phone off, then hold vol down and power on to boot to recovery. from there you can wipe and flash. it is the easiest way to root and flash a new rom imho.
sorry figured i should answer your post i quoted. lol. if under menu-> accounts and sync->add account->facebook. input your info and select sync all or sync current contacts. it should pull in the information. if you have different names for people in your contacts and your facebook (ex "wife" in your contacts and "jane" on facebook) you can "sync all contacts" and manually link them. contacts->long press on contact->edit contact->menu->join. this should link you contacts with their facebook info. the facebook pics will sync it just takes a good bit of time sometimes.
Hello, I am messing about deleting different files from the phone, and replacing them with (in my opinion) better apps, what i want to know is, I current LOVE the 'Go' Products, namely the SMS app and maybe the contacts app, so, which files do I need to delete/backup of the Stock messaging/Stock Contacts? I am using Elelinux newest gingerbread light... and usually uninstall files with titanium backup pro.... so can anyone help?
Be careful what you do cause some files are needed to make other programs to run or you may find you will get force closes on your phone or even semi brick.... This happened to me when I tried to change the look of my stock dialer! I did manage to do it after almost pulling my hair out for half an hour. Just be careful, I would also like to do this with go sms too, post back your results if all goes ok

yeah i be very careful, i back up everything religiously, thats why I ask here, I love my Hero, and dont wanna bugger it up
In the Go SMS app settings it says that it's better to keep the stock mms app. I also think It's better to keep the phone app. But if you use a custom launcher, you can delete the default launcher. Other apps you can delete are for example: Genie widget (news and weather), kickback, talkback, soundback, the music app, Google talk, browser, Twitter, Facebook and Google voice ;-)
Edit: and there's no reason to be afraid of messing up your phone, if you delete something wrong, just reflash your Rom with cache and dalvik wipe ;-)

if you're running android 2.1, will this answer your question? http://www.market4android.com/stock-android-2-1-apps-list <-- see the colored cell.
Hi folks I have a question about freezing apps on Gingerbread.First off I havespent three days searching and haven't found an answer for this.
I found this thread about what apps are safe to freeze but my question is different.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459
I want to know which apps are safe to freeze that will not affect webtop functionality.....aside from the fact that on that list it still says its for froyo even tho freezing most of those still works with GB and other ROMS.
Can anyone at least point me to a thread where they discuss safe apps to freeze that won't affect Webtop functionality...thanks everyone.
I have frozen many apps from that list without affecting my WebTop at all.
Why don't you start freezing some of the apps you don't use and see it for yourself?
Worst case just unfreeze them.
Cheers

well i froze almost all of those but i did notice that then all of the sudden my webtop didnt respond anymore....I restored my back up and have been doing one by one untill i find the problem one.
I froze all of the social media ones first and I think the problem might have been DeskHome service any ideas??????

You can freeze all social apps, just don't freeze DeskHome. WebTop needs it.

oh i guess that was my problem
I want to use Cyanogen or Slimbean etc. but I frigging hate the Camera app and I really hate the clock app too. I really don't want to use an official rom for my phone but I really cannot part with those apps.
Is there anyway I can use something like Titanium Backup to save the .apk and just overwrite it over the Cyanogen/Slimbean one instead?
I can't stress how badly I need to do this, it's the deal-breaker of Cyanogen.. I've never tried it before but I don't want to waste a couple of hours flashing and revamping to find that I can't do it.. :/
Has anyone tried? I can't find another thread over it... just on the HTC camera app.

AFAIK you can't. The camera app on Stock rom is a touchwiz based app. Won't be compatible with CM
What if I move touchwiz with me? You mean the launcher right, or is that something different completely :/ is there really no way to even try and get it working as a beta? I mean it's leagues ahead of Cyanogen's Camera app and I take so many pictures with my phone... I really miss those options.
Touchwiz is not just the launcher. Its the name of the software framework running on the phone (android x.x + all the other stuff including the interface, camera, messaging apps etc. Since the camera app is part of that, it's impossible to port it to for example cyanogenmod.
You should just wait for android 4.2 to be ported to the s3. As far as i have seen the camera works great with many options !
